THE PEOPLE OPPOSED TO CAMDEN.
THE POLITICIANS IN FAVOR.
False Reports Nailed.


A large meeting of the Democrats
of Marshall county was held at
Moundsville, Tuesday, and strong
resolutions expressing their disap-
probation of Senator Prices refusal
to go into caucus on the Senatorial
question, were unanimously adopt
ed Weston Dem.
The humor of the above may not
be apparent to every one. The
"large" meeting referred to was
held in an Sx10 room and an
immense throng of FIVE people were
present. Our Jolly friend A. J. Mar
tin, with his $50 pounds of adipose,
was sent for to s'lend weight to the
meeting" and probably this is what
the Democrat man had in mind
when he spoke of the "large meet
ing" The wonderful part of it is,
that the resolutions were "andni-
mously adopted in spite of the fact
that the meeting was so Charge"
This example of unity(?) should be
followed by the democrats down at
Charleston.-MdrskdH Herald.
Most of our Democratic exchanges
are rough in their abuse of the sim
mortal thirteen" who refused to GO
into caucus on the Senatorial ques-
ton. They claim the political hori-
zon OF these gentlemen has been
prescribed by their action in this
matter. We believe the representa-
tives from Hampshire have illumin.
ed their political horizon, as nearly
ever one of the seventeen hundred
Democratic voters of the county
sustain them in the bold stand they
have taken. Hampshire is proud
that she can send men to represent
her who have the courage and man
hood to stand to their convictions
and the interest and sentiment OF
their constituents.-Ham Re

Delegate Kinsey, of Marion, was
not a candidate for the Legislature,
but the Democratic party forced
him in the field. He said during
the campaign that he was minis.
ter and a professor of Christianity
and not a politician, and if elected
he would not come back a politician
He says he became opposed to the
election of Camden after seeing his
methods. Now this gentleman for
a conscientious conviction is hung in
effigy by some Camden blackguards
No gentlemen would engage in such
low conduct. Rev. Kinsey cannot
be Weston Republican.
"a Democrat" in the Wheeling
Register of Tuesday, is very much
mistaken if the Democrats of JEFF
ferson, Greenbrier, Hardy and Min
eral will sustain Messrs, Price
Flournoy & Co." We cannot speak
with certainty, but from expressions
which we have heard from leading
Democrats of Mineral, Senator
Price need have no fears but that
the Democrats Of this county will
sustain him. They believe in his
course.
The Register " sounds its barbariC
yawp,n in the classic and elegant
language of Walt Whitman, in a
saddening wall over the awfuI
iniquity of those thirteen Democrats
who cannot be cajoled or bull dozed
into voting for Camden. 1t warns
them that they'll defeat the party in
SO if they don't "look leedle oudt.'
We have never seen any evidence
that the Register knows any higher
good than mere party success. We
heard life long, and very intelli
gent Democrat say, only day Oh
two since, that he thought re-elect
ion would be the greatest calamity
that could come upon the Democrat
ic party. If both are right, the
party is in bad fix.-Keyoer Echo
Delegate Hagans is the Patrick
Henry of the House of Delegates
With P. Henry and Mr.. Hagans
we exclaim: eff this is war, let hel
come, zoe repeat 1t let her come. W.
have bloviated; we have duplicated
we DISCoMBOBERATED ourselve.
and we are clear up on our ear
Gentlemen may cry piece, piece, bu
